@jmase1970 @luxemiaa So you fly, but you can't read. The lady posted about someone doing the exact thing you are complaining about but SHE is being insufferable... 👍
English
@LoganActs @luxemiaa I probably fly for work more in a month than you do in a year. Be an adult and stay in the seat you purchased. Not too difficult. Oh, the poor victims on X……insufferable. Stay in your house and you won’t have any issues.

So it finally happened. I get to my window seat and a lady is sitting in it. I say “I’m sorry this is my seat, are you maybe in the wrong row?” Assuming if you’re in the window, you have a window seat. And this woman says, “i need to sit here, i’m big.” (She wasn’t that big) Wtf? This is a red-eye. I get a window seat so i can sleep, as I have to hit the ground running when I get to my destination. I just looked at her.. “I’m sorry, can I please get into my seat”? ---

@jmase1970 @luxemiaa Hey look everyone, John has never flown on a plane!!!!

@LoganActs @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 It’s all semantics and what your recruiter emphasized. Mine focused on the raw score. When I hit my first unit, my CO told me people with my score were, in his experience, "unsuitable for a Ranger battalion."
Ironically, I found out later his was higher than mine! Go figure 🤔

Jordan Peterson shared one of the most sobering statistics I’ve heard in a long time.
The U.S. Armed Forces — after over a century of careful psychometric research driven by life-and-death necessity — will not induct anyone with an IQ below 83. They concluded that there is simply nothing in the military (at any level) that such a person can be trained to do without being counterproductive.
Peterson noted that this threshold captures roughly one in ten people. And if the military’s complexity is even roughly comparable to broader society, that means about 10% of the population has no viable place in our cognitively demanding world.
He emphasized that this isn’t about lack of money or short-term training. The data shows it’s extremely difficult to turn low cognitive ability into the kind of adaptive, creative problem-solving that modern society requires.
It’s a raw, uncomfortable truth about human variation that most people prefer not to discuss openly.
What do you think — is this statistic something society needs to confront honestly, or is there a better way to think about it?

@troubleonsystem @dieselfinger @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 At the time, NBCD was one of the highest scores required in the Corps, came with a big bonus, and I was studying hazmat in college. I didn't want to be in intel or linguistics.
English
@LoganActs @dieselfinger @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 > 99 ASVAB score but signed up to do CBRN instead of better job that requires a higher score.
Yeah.

@darklordjournal If @monsterhunter45 sees this... ya'll gonna cash in on this rage bait.

@dieselfinger @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 Most nukes are just weirdos. I wont say I am excluded. We are generally pedantic pricks that have nothing better to do on a Monday night than argue with a fellow vet about the difference between scores and percentages...lol.
English
@dieselfinger @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 Which brings me back to the original point - the ASVAB score is ONLY ever reported as a percentile so that dog faces, jar heads, swabbies, and chairmen can all compare thier equally worthless scores.
English
@dieselfinger @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 Except that you memorized your GT score... bet you waved that 112 all over downtown Columbus GA to make sure everyone knew you were the smart one at Fort Benning.

Liberal white woman says if Republicans are the majority, why’s there never counter protesters at the No Kings protests..
👀
English
@dieselfinger @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 Either way, ASVAB has nothing to do with IQ anyway. (which was the topic of the 1st post) It just says that you and I were among the smart morons.
English
@dieselfinger @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 Maybe I am too dumb to 'member the 'portant stuff... sorry bout that Sarge.
English
@dieselfinger @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 That is why the ASVAB score is reported as a percentile and not the raw score. So when you state, "It's called the ASVAB... I scored a 112" you make yourself look simple. An ASVAB of 93 is both a really good score and an actual possibility. Just want you to get it right shippy.
English
@LoganActs @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 A percentile shows your rank relative to others, not your raw score. Being in the 90th percentile means you outperformed 90% of the group. Even if my score was 112, that number matters less than the fact that only 10% scored higher. It’s all about where you stand, Marine! Get it?

@AllThingsCivil @infantrydort Why didn't ANY of the J6 prisoners catch an insurrection charge if it was an insurrection?
English
@infantrydort No one is trolling you
J6 was an insurrection
Every day, your conduct on here is unbecoming of an officer
Deep down you know you’re cooked after January, and I don’t feel the slightest bit sorry for you

I love how the idiots on here always seem to find each other

I know @infantrydort personally. I consider him a cherished friend. It actually feels unnatural to refer to him by his X handle or “Dort”, because I’ve only ever called him by his first name. Or retard. But I digress … Of the many ways I could describe him to you, I think the following are most relevant here: 1) There is no pretense with him. 2) He will unequivocally admit when he’s wrong. These are exceedingly rare and desperately needed qualities in our officer corps. The recoil to his seemingly brutish candor is understandable — it has been trained and ingrained for far too long. I’m pleased he’s shifting the Overton Window. On pretense - “Dort” has a mind that remains in constant motion. If you engage with him, you can see the thoughts and concepts develop and pour out, unfiltered, in real time. There is no measuring of words. No calculation to impress. Just ideas conveyed, and offered up for inspection. Thoughtful discussion. He’s actually a great collaborator — taking feedback on his thoughts, remaining fixed when his convictions demand it and counter arguments are uncompelling, but refining his views accordingly when introduced to valuable new information or perspectives. Which leads to point 2 - Dort will unabashedly concede the point if the point is made. But you’re gonna work for it. This type of humility has become so rare it almost goes unnoticed for the gem it is. So many people engage in dialogue to “win”. They hate those who disagree with them. It’s personal. He engages, genuinely, to exchange ideas. I’ve watched him, firsthand, without equivocation or excuse, just say “ok, now I see. You’re right.” The best way I can describe it is an earnest childlike interest in learning — shameless. Before society teaches you to be embarrassed that you don’t know everything. A shorter version is to just say he’s an old school warrior. He sees the value and honor in fighting to the death for a worthy cause — and in honoring a truce made in good faith. If you have occasion to meet him on Wednesday go in with an open mind and you’ll leave with a friend.

@dieselfinger @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 I scored a 99 in 1997 when I entered the Marine Corps as a Nuclear Biological and Chemical Defense specialist. You may have had higher line scores, where you are possibly getting your number, but you literally can't get higher than a 99 as an ASVAB score.
English
@LoganActs @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 Correction: it was the 93rd percentile. Scores from 95–134 spanned the 90th–99th. The average is usually the 50 %, anything under the 40% meant you weren't even qualified to peel potatoes in a mess hall. My memory of it is 25 years old and haven't about it until now.
English
@dieselfinger @SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 Well, you are a liar. The highest score possible on the ASVAB is 99.
English
@SalsaPrice @newstart_2024 It's called the ASVAB; it measures developed abilities and predicts future academic and occupational success in the military. I scored a 112, which pre-qualified me for any job/MOS I wanted to do as long as I was able to master that skill set in training to achieve it.
English
@newstart_2024 I served 22 years in the military. I took one ASVAB test and 1 DLAB test. I took exactly ZERO IQ tests. I dont believe this is true.

I have lost my keys inside my car. Not locked, LOST.
To clarify:
My car turned on.
My car will only turn on if the keys are inside of it.
So they must be in the car.
Yet I cannot find my keys.
My car is not messy.
There is very little in it.
I’ve looked everywhere.
And yet, the keys are nowhere to be found.
But they have to be here.
Hence, I have lost my keys in my car.
What … and I cannot stress this enough … the f*ck?

@JuryTrialReport @DefiantLs Most people at least get Elon Bucks to be this stupid and here you are doing it for free. Such benevolence.

@DefiantLs A lot of athletes who thought they were women, have lived their whole lives as women, competed and trained, are about to find out they aren't women according to this test. Maybe 15 to 25 at the Olympics? That's going to be tough.
